We can recommend several accommodation options for your Salmon Fishing Holiday in Scotland.
Scottish Salmon Fishing Holiday Accommodation
After the fishing itself, the most critical issue on the angler’s itinerary is finding an excellent place to stay. As an inclusive part of one of our fishing weeks, quality accommodation will always be carefully pre-selected in a location convenient to the fishing. For the free-roaming angler who likes to explore and set up their itinerary, the following may be of interest.
What type of accommodation you need to look for
We anglers are, on the whole, tricky to cater for. We like accommodation that is close to the fishing. We like getting up early and fishing before breakfast on hot summer days. We often stay out late and fish into the gloaming if the conditions are good and fish are moving into the river. We might want to fish into the night for a Sea Trout. We need facilities to dry our gear and perhaps store our made-up rods.
You can still enjoy luxury on a Scottish Salmon Fishing holiday
Having said all this, we do not want to sacrifice any of the luxuries a good hostelry can offer. Nothing is better than to meet in the bar and enjoy a cold beer on a hot day or a dram by an open fire on a cold one. We like to relax in a well-stuffed armchair. We all enjoy the excellent food Scotland offers, and dinner with a glass of wine is to be savoured. This is also the time to catch up with colleagues on the day’s events and make new acquaintances. The atmosphere should be relaxed and not too formal, but we should feel comfortable wearing a jacket and tie.
